The aim of my workshop is not to give an overview of the situation in Flanders. But I would like to take out a few of the themes that through the years often reoccurred in discussions within the steering committees. These committees are responsible for the local policy in restorative justice and consist of different judicial and welfare policymakers (a Prosecutor, a University professor, welfare workers, a police representative, a judge, the mediators … ).
